of course, the kerry campaign isn't it getting any better. kerry campaign spokesperson phil singer reacted to bush's latest reversal as follows:
"What today showed is that George Bush might be able to give a speech saying he can win the war on terror. But he's clearly got real doubts about his ability to do so and for good reason"no, what it shows is that it is politically untenable for any mainstream politician to speak the truth about this mess we have gotten ourselves into. and that, unfortunately, does not bode well for the future no matter what happens in the upcoming election. even if kerry wins (and don't get me wrong, i hope he does), i have serious concerns whether he will be able to really initiate a serious discussion with the american public about american foreign policy.
